Thread: Start-up woes.. NOW WHAT!!??

So work on getting the car to turn over today and.... well. It did but it didn't.

I thought I had the timing right but I have no idea. I got in the car...pushed in the clutch, turned the key and... Blub Blub Blub stall... Did this many times. Started to give it gas every time with the same out come. Car get's as high as 500RPM and dies.

Any idea?

No fuel or too much fuel.

Well I have a Nismo adjustable FPR set at 39 PSI.... And that's good enough for 3 bar. So I don't think its that.

What I'm saying is that just because you have an FPR, doesn't mean you have fuel.

If you have too much fuel and your FPR is working correctly, you have a spark/timing issue.

If you don't have enough fuel, you have a filter/fpr/pump issue.

hey wayne, can you give more info on this?

Does the fuel pump put out enough pressure/ flow?
.
Try disconnecting the fuel line and run it into a cup/jar and see what comes out

I AGREE WITH MIKE WAYNE.. TRY THAT..

also..
remove cap from distributor.. check if anyhting loose inside

Yes... My FPR gauge is set at 39PSI. And there is fuel coming out. I'm pretty sure my chain is off a tooth or two.

Be careful with that, I think I just punctured the pistons and bent my valves in my 1.6L with the chain being off
